Wuxia Fantasy: Starting with the Revitalization of the Beggars' Sect

Lin Ye told Vice Leader Wu about the capture of the Beggars' Gang brothers, and Wu was immediately stunned.

Lin Ye didn't say it might be Yan Benlei, since it wasn't certain yet, but whoever it was, as long as they were Beggar Clan disciples, he had to find a way to save them.

Of course, everything still needs to be considered carefully. Given Zhao Min's cunning, it might be a trap. In any case, we need to find out some information first.

Deputy Commander Wu first sent someone to the main branch to confirm the situation, and then sent Beggar Clan disciples on the street to secretly gather information.

The people from the Sky Eagle Sect said that there was a mansion in the east of the city. After some investigation, they came back and said that the largest mansion in the east of the city was heavily guarded, and experts were coming and going from time to time. It is likely that what the Sky Eagle Sect said is true.

They just hadn't seen the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy around yet.

The only way to find out the specifics is to sneak into the mansion.

That night, Lin Ye dressed in black, evaded the guards, and sneaked into the mansion under the moonlight.

Although there were many guards, with Lin Ye's current skills, it wouldn't be difficult for him to sneak in undetected.

However, the mansion was so large that Lin Ye didn't know where to start looking.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ye decided to test the waters.

He hid in the shadows, picked up a stone, and threw it into the distance, breaking a door or window. The sound immediately attracted the attention of the guards inside the courtyard.

"Who goes there!"

A guard shouted, and then several guards carrying spears appeared quickly.

The group searched the broken window for a while but found nothing. Just then, the door of a house was pushed open, and a fat monk hurriedly walked out.

After approaching the guards and asking them questions, and finding nothing amiss, he quickly walked toward another courtyard.

This fat monk wasn't dressed like a Tibetan monk, so he probably wasn't from the Vajra Sect. He wasn't very old either, so he probably wasn't Cheng Kun either.

Lin Ye recalled the original work, but he didn't remember such a person. He wondered who it was.

But then he realized that there were many martial arts masters in the world who coveted wealth and luxury, and were dressed in fine clothes and silks. How could he possibly know all the masters that Yuan Ting had gathered when he ruled the world?

Lin Ye leaped onto the roof and chased after the man. His footsteps landed on the roof without making a sound.

They followed him until they reached a courtyard. There, the fat monk arrived at a house with two guards standing at the entrance and two more patrolling the passageway.

The fat monk was saying something to the patrolman, who looked around and shook his head.

The fat monk didn't say anything more. He walked towards the house, pushed open the door, looked inside, and then came out and closed the door.

He gave a few more instructions to the guards on both sides before leaving.

Lin Ye saw this and wondered to himself, "Could it be that the disciples of the gang are trapped there?"

Now that he knew the location, he decided to continue following the fat monk, without rushing into anything else.

Lin Ye remained hidden in the shadows and followed them to a large courtyard. He saw that a door inside the courtyard was open, and the firelight illuminated the figure of a person outside.

He was slender, dressed in men's clothing, and carrying a fan on his back. He was a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen. Behind him were two burly men with gloomy faces, but their martial arts skills were not low.

Zhao Min, the Xuanming Elders?

This set of equipment looked all too familiar. Even though Lin Ye had never met Zhao Min before, he could vaguely guess the identities of the three of them.

The fat monk strode up to the handsome young man, who asked:

"Master Wei, what's going on over there?"

They had obviously heard the commotion Lin Ye had just made.

"Reporting to you, young master, it's nothing, probably just a cat or a mouse."

The young man nodded. "You must keep a close watch on him and make sure he doesn't escape. I have a very important use for him. By the way, where is Master Cheng?"

Upon hearing the words "Master Cheng," Lin Ye's mind went blank.

The young man's voice was high-pitched and thin; without a doubt, it was a woman's voice, belonging to Zhao Min. And the Master Cheng she mentioned was clearly Cheng Kun.

I never expected to run into Cheng Kun here.

Cheng Kun, Xie Xun's master, was also the one who drove his beloved disciple mad.

Because his attempt to elope with Yang Dingtian's wife failed, he took his anger out on Xie Xun, one of the four great protectors of the Ming Cult. On the day of his beloved disciple's son's full-month celebration, he defiled his disciple's wife, slaughtered his disciple's entire family, and even killed the newborn child. His actions were undeniably cruel.

He later joined Yuan Ting and devoted his entire life to instigating battles between various sects in the martial arts world to destroy the Ming Cult.

In the original story, Cheng Kun also had a disciple named Chen Youliang, who was a spy he planted in the Beggars' Sect and eventually rose to the position of Eight-Bag Elder.

Lin Ye had never heard of Chen Youliang's name in the gang in his early years. After returning, he occasionally heard the gang disciples talk about him. At this time, he had become the Eighth Elder of the Dazhi Branch, but he had never met him.

When his disciples mentioned him, they all praised him, saying that he was exceptionally courageous, loyal, and righteous.

This shows how cunning he is.

That makes sense, otherwise how could he have become Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest enemy on his path to domination? It's just that the Zhu Yuanzhang in the book wasn't exactly a good person either...

"Master Cheng just got back, I'll call him over right now."

"No need to call him, he'll come on his own. You can go now, but remember to keep an eye on him."

"Yes."

The fat monk surnamed Wei accepted the order and left, while Zhao Min returned to her room with the two elders, Xuanming.

A moment later, a hooded man walked steadily into the courtyard and headed straight for Zhao Min's study.

He knocked on the door of the study, "Princess."

"Master Cheng, please come in."

The door opened, and in that instant of light, Lin Ye saw half of the person's face clearly; his expression was gentle, but his eyes were cold.

As Cheng Kun was about to enter, his gaze suddenly turned towards Lin Ye. Lin Ye noticed something amiss and immediately lowered his head, causing Cheng Kun's gaze to miss its target.

"Master Cheng, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

The door was closed again.

"As expected of Cheng Kun..."

Lin Ye sighed inwardly; such vigilance was unmatched by ordinary people.

Lin Ye did not go over to eavesdrop again.

The Xuanming Elders and Cheng Kun were all skilled in martial arts, able to detect even the slightest movements.

By then, including them, plus Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San who are nowhere to be found, and countless guards, there will be no shortage of them.

Even if his martial arts skills are not low now, it would not be a wise move to rashly deal with so many people.

Moreover, his purpose in coming here was not to alert the enemy, but to find the whereabouts of his Beggars' Clan brothers.

What could Cheng Kun possibly discuss with Zhao Min?

Although Lin Ye didn't know the details, he could get a general idea from the original work. Considering the current conflict between the Emei Sect and the Ming Cult, Zhao Min probably wanted to make a scene when the six major sects attacked the Ming Cult's Bright Peak.

Zhao Min, Cheng Kun, the two elders of Xuanming, and others were discussing matters here, which conveniently facilitated his actions.

Lin Ye returned to the roof of that courtyard. He saw four guards inside the courtyard and at the gate, and another group of guards patrolling not far away.

The fat monk's room was nearby.

How can we sneak over there unnoticed?
